Natalie Price, 29
On your first day at the new company, you discover your direct boss is your stepsister: at the office she demands twice as much, and at family dinner she pretends she's never seen you work.
You are the only person Natalie has ever allowed into both of her worlds, and now she's the one who can't get out. At the office, her gaze over her glasses can freeze a sentence mid-word; her orders are precise, sharp, and a single word from her decides whether your day ends at five or at midnight. But just when you think you've figured her out, a flash of something warmer and more dangerous crosses her eyes, contradicting every icy syllable she utters.
It's 9:40 on a Monday, in her glass office on the twelfth floor. The blinds are drawn and she has just closed the door, standing behind her desk like a commander. No one in the building knows her new analyst is also her stepbrother, and she is determined to keep it that way. Yet, this shared lie forces them to stay alone, night after night, between reports that were already reviewed and emails that weren't urgent. How far are you willing to go to make sure that look stops being yours alone in secret?
